Yes, you read that right—it’s officially lightweight-jacket season, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.
Spring is the perfect time to lean into outerwear that’s equal parts functional and fashion-forward. From crisp mornings to breezy evenings, a good spring jacket ties your whole look together without making you overheat. And the best part? This season’s styles are all about subtle statements—think clean tailoring, fresh silhouettes, and quiet luxury energy.
If you’re on the hunt for designer-passing jackets without the designer price tag, you’ll want to check out Free People, Zara, and Mango. These brands are nailing the art of expensive-looking pieces that pass for high-end. We’re talking barn jackets with polished details, structured funnel-neck styles, buttery faux-leather bombers, and cropped trench coats that feel straight off the runway. Whether you’re going for downtown cool or countryside chic, there’s a spring jacket with your name on it. Keep scrolling to shop our carefully curated edit of the top 24 styles of the season.
